BluePack Enables Live Interviews via Bluetooth Cellphone

(click thumbnail)JK Audio is showing the BluePack wireless interview tool, suitable for live man-on-the-street interviews through a cellphone equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology.

BluePack pairs to a cellphone like a Bluetooth headset. The company says the microphone preamp and headphone amplifier ensure that the message goes through. A 3.5 mm stereo line input jack allows recordings to be mixed into the broadcast. The 3.5 mm stereo line output jack provides a full bandwidth microphone signal on the left channel, and Bluetooth audio on the right channel.

The stereo headphone output gives the user a mix of the XLR microphone input, 3.5 mm input and Bluetooth audio. The 1/2 watt stereo headphone amplifier cuts through crowd noise, according to JK Audio. BluePack also pairs with Bluetooth-equipped sound cards and music players in full bandwidth stereo A2DP mode.

Additional highlights include a weight of 10 ounces and more than 10 hours of operation on one 9 volt battery.
